it worked before the winter time. now it doesnt work. i tighten the cables and pulled as hard as i could. it still doesnt not work. ( 5spd)

so my question....

what is my problem? do i need new cables or new rear calipers???

 

just park the car in gear... problem solved

 

mine doesnt work either, but i have 4AT so it doesnt really matter

 

i do park in gear all the time. my driveway has a slight hill and i dont like the sounds of my gears rubbing.

so, is it a cable problem or caliper problem?
thanks

 

its probaly both, especially for me. my ebrake problem fucked up my rear right brake assembly. my e-brake doesnt hold for shit in neutral anymore either. if you open your center console and take the fuzzy cover thing out of the way you can see how cockeyed the cables are.

 

tighten it

 

yes yes. when i look at the cables they are not even. i already tighten them to the max. i cant tighten them down anymore.

 

could be your calipers... is there tension on the cable?

 

fuk that
brick the bitch up
put a brick or rock at the front tires

 

haha soo ghetto!

 

does the handle pull up with relative ease? if so you need to tighten the cable, otherwise its a caliper issue.

 

ghetto ftw

 

fo the winizzle

 

no, the handle is quite stiff. i already tighten the cable to the max. it still does not grab.

people on some other forum say i might need new pads for the rear. could this be a possible solution???

btw, i currently do use rubber stops under the front wheels to prevent from rolling away.

thanks

 

there is LOTS of tension on the handle.

before when my e-brake did work, the rear calipers would always stick to the rotors. i think that the prblem may be related......
